Hey guys, question here about importing 12 (6) handguns...

Will you guys import a 12(6) handgun from the states and have it shipped to a gunsmith to be rebarreled to restricted?

If so, can the original barrel be shipped separately on the obvious understanding it will never be installed? From what I understand the barrel itself would not be prohibited as long as it never went in the (rebarreled) gun... Still would be nice from a historical standpoint (if an older gun like a ppk/1903) to have the original barrel, despite never being able to use it.

Please clarify, thanks!

No 12.X prohibited firearms are allowed to be imported. That's all part of the confiscation by attrition agenda.

Of course, totally forgot!

Get it rebarreled in the US and import it as a restricted. The original barrel is prohibited and you cannot own it without the appropriate prohib license.

Are you sure the original barrel is prohibited? Please provide link to where it is listed as a prohibited device... I was under the impression that even a non-PAL holding Canadian citizen can own any handgun barrel (or other non registered part) they want?

Most barrels ARE just pieces of metal that anyone can own, the one exception is handgun barrels below legal length.

I've always wondered about rifle barrels of that length though... Would a 4" rifle barrel somehow be legal because that specifically states handgun barrel?...

They imported the handgun without a barrel , I imported the barrel through a different company and sent it to IRG and they registered it restricted .

Thats not the inner workings of irg, though. At least, not for handguns that have oem barrels less than 105mm. As per irg themselves, they send your barrel to USA and then re-import it installed.

Prohibs can’t be imported into Canada.

I should know what they did ! Too many armchair experts on this Website !! A pistol without a barrel is NOT a prohib in the USA or Canada ! It's simply a Handgun (frame) !

LOLx3

So in that case why did you have to sent irg your extended barrel? :rolleyes:

Irg themselves posted that procedure on this forum. I was also told the same thing by a different importer trying to import G43 without a barrel.

A handgun and a handgun frame are not the same thing. A frame is a component, so is a slide, so is a barrel. A handgun is a collection of those parts.
